Sparcraft aluminium mast, boom, crossbeam and longeron are finished in the black paint upgrade, with a Harken Battcar C-system track and Dyform wire rigging. The Ullman fully battened square-top mainsail with Sunbrella stack pack new late 2025 pairs with the Ullman furling jib.

The Versahelm adjustable helm offers upper and lower stations with reefing, jib and main handling worked from Harken 48-volt electric winches—three at the helm, two on the aft coaming, and one at the mast base. The aft cockpit has AquaTraction redone in 2024, a cockpit enclosure with clear flexible side panels, a Kenyon IntelliKEN electric grill with sink and cutting board, and a telescopic cockpit table converting to a divan/bed.

The saloon galley features a Kenyon 3-plate induction cooktop, a combination microwave/oven new 2025, Vitrifrigo DW180A 2-drawer fridge and 2-drawer freezer new 2024, and cameo white Corian countertops and basins. Entertainment and comfort include a Samsung 32" Smart FHD TV on an aluminium swivel bracket, a Fusion MS-RA770 Apollo system, and a 16,000 BTU Frigomar air-conditioning unit.
Cabin Photos
This three-cabin owner’s version has the owner’s hull aft ensuite and a forward master cabin with an island berth and walk-in forepeak access with hanging storage. All cabins have queen-size 100mm shaped memory foam mattresses and headboards, Caframo fans (2 per cabin), and Oceanair white pleated blinds on hull windows and deck hatches.
Head Photos
There are 2 Planus Stilo 24V electric heads with control panels and soft-close seats, with Corian cameo white countertops, basins, and towel rails. The owner’s ensuite includes a separate shower stall, and the port guest head is kept separate from its shower compartment, with roller shades in the heads.
Other Photos
Electrical power centers on an 800Ah 24V lithium-ion house bank fed by a 20kW dual Integrel system (18kW charge/generator output, upgraded to Gen3 brackets in 2026) and 1,600W of SunPower solar on individual Victron MPPT regulators. A Victron 5,000W inverter/charger supports the system, with 2 12V start batteries new 9/2025 and 4 Aqualuma 12-series Gen 4 blue LED underwater lights at the transom.
